John D Wood and Co Lettings London reviews

Not all estate agents are the same. JDW are in a league of their own.

JD Wood are professional, but they go much further than just that. From the first appraisal they gave us confidence, no 'flannel 'or 'blarney. JDW made arrangements professionally and kept us in touch, always gave us feedback, they did everything you should take for granted, but so often get let down on, it's how they work. The staff we met were 'long-termers', they probably stayed for a reason, and their longevity meant they were really experienced. We were looked after by two offices and we didn't notice until Adrian mentioned he was from Parsons Green office, whilst our house was in Fulham and we'd met people from that local office. That seamlessness was important. I'd telephone for an update, whether Fulham or Parsons Green, if the person I needed wasn't there whoever else answered the phone knew our property, knew the current status, and was completely informed. Once more this is not the norm in our experience. Whilst Adrian had the buyer for us and helped this go through smoothly it is important to know that everyone we spoke to was enormously helpful and it was clearly a team effort. Everything was super professional right through exchange of contracts and leading up to completion, we were extremely happy we had gone with JDW. They're not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for and with the biggest transactions most of us do in our lives you can easily be 'penny wise, pound foolish'. We certainly had value for money. Then...... disaster strikes..... and that's where 'going a step further' than normal stunned me. We're moving, the furniture has gone in the van, and a leak springs downstairs, dripping through the ceiling. It's Thursday, we complete on Monday (legally bound to!) I called with the bad news. A calm and collected response; "Our letting team have people who do maintenance, let's see what we can do". Enter Stephen from the Fulham office (who is head of sales, actually, not lettings, but this is clearly a real 'team business'). He told me "Don't worry, I've got a guy who's going to go round, he's good, I know him, we'll sort it out". Frankly I've heard that sort of thing too many times , I was nervous. How wrong was I. The plumber did what was needed, by Saturday everything was fixed, dried out, and someone was round sanding the area of new plaster on the ceiling. I didn't lift a finger, it was all organised by JDWood. Photos of the work were sent to the new owners who were graciously happy. Now, that's going the extra distance. And we still had two days breathing space. You don't choose an estate agent because they can fix a leak. But it just shows what I mean. Up to that point they'd been the most professional folk I'd dealt with, and a really well organised team that played as a team. But then they created a new league and leapt into it. All completed well, the new owners got in and were happy. A nightmare turned into a nothing (but gratitude). JD Wood made it all happen. They went the extra mile or league or whatever it needed. Not just Adrian and Stephen, but everyone there. You will not be disappointed by JD Wood, you will be delighted. All estate agents are not the same, and JDW are the best.

I have been renting with John D Wood…

I have been renting with John D Wood for over 13 years and over this time the staff have been efficient, helpful and do a great job. More recently I have a new manager Massy Eslami and I truly appreciate her dedication to her role and always being very polite , personable and helpful , but above everything she's generous with her time and always very kind , even reaching out to me when I have not been well as I have a health issue. These are rare qualities in these rushed and quick speed times. Thank you so much Massy your a shining star!

John D Wood Herne Hill have been…

John D Wood Herne Hill have been absolutely fantastic, and we cannot recommend them highly enough. The entire team, Nick, Sarah and Holleigh are genuinely lovely people who give honest, no-nonsense advice. At every stage, we felt they had our best interests at heart, whether it was helping us sell our flat or find our dream home. We had been trying to sell our flat for a year and a half with another agent. During that time, we lost three buyers, and the advice we kept receiving was simply to reduce our asking price significantly. John D Wood completely changed our experience. Not only did they help us find a home we absolutely adore, but when our sale fell through and our purchase was at risk, they stepped in and quite literally saved it. We switched to them to sell our flat, and within just 10 days of it being on the market with them, we received a full asking price offer. From that point through to exchange and completion, they were proactive, assertive when needed, and excellent communicators. Their professionalism, dedication and persistence made what could have been an incredibly stressful process so much more manageable. We honestly cannot thank Nick, Sarah and Holleigh enough. If you're looking for an estate agent who is knowledgeable, trustworthy and genuinely invested in achieving the best outcome for you, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend the John D Wood Herne Hill team.

Layla and the team at John D Wood in Battersea were excellent in the way they dealt with my family and I. We rented a house in the Battersea area and they were professional, polite and respectful at all times. Having dealt with other agents over the past year, this team were by far the best and above all, achieved the result we wanted. Thanks again!

Great experience with John D Wood

I couldn’t thank David at the Docklands branch enough for his outstanding support throughout our property rental journey. This has genuinely been the best experience we’ve ever had with an estate agent. He was always quick to respond, highly proactive, and incredibly effective at solving any issues that came up. It was clear he was completely on top of everything from start to finish. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a smooth and stress-free rental experience!

Advice on sale of flat

I went to the Docklands branch and spoke to Tushar about the sale of my property. A very constructive meeting - Tushar clearly has a lot of knowledge and experience, which really put me at ease, (thankfully, as I know from experience how stressful selling one’s home can be). I came away with a good idea of how I want to move forward and checklist of the things that need to be done. Definitely worth considering paying a visit to John D Wood + Co if you are thinking of selling up.

Layla has been amazing. We needed to move in just a few days, and there were a few mistakes in paperwork provided by the landlord - Layla was stuck in the middle and responding with urgency and professionalism. My wife and I really appreciate her diligence - this entire process would have been painful without someone of her calibre. Thanks!!

A talented, personable, house sale team, who really know the area. Their expertise and support hugely impacted on the inevitable stress of selling my home. Communications were relevant and timely. I felt supported throughout the process. This resulted in house sale from going to the market to completion within 6 months.I would particularly mention, Victoria and Alex who were able to work with me and guide me through the sale process. I would recommend John D Wood to anyone in Battersea wanting to sell their house

We bought a property through John D Wood. The service was excellent. Victoria was very good, candid and direct in the right moments and communicative throughout. It was evident that they worked 'for their clients' as much as they did balancing securing the sale. I will be using them when we come to move on.

Johnny Moore John D Wood Review

From the very start Daniel White and Jane Marshall made me feel, not just that I was in safe hands, but that I was dealing with two people who are extremely professional and experienced. I never felt pressured or rushed and their communication skills, support, and calm reassurance has made the whole process of selling my house a positive one.

Our sale of a property in Surbiton

Our sale of a property in Surbiton was complicated by the fact that everything had to be managed from overseas. We were fortunate in being directed to John D. Wood and Co at the Surbiton branch, where we have nothing but praise for the professionalism and efficiency of Luke Dwyer and Theo Harding. There were many issues which caused delays in the process of this sale, but at all times Luke was quick to be in touch and to advise on the way forward. Although we did not meet in person, we very much appreciated his reassuring manner as we negotiated both legal and practical setbacks.

Excellent experience with John D Wood Wimbledon

We recently completed the purchase of a flat in Wimbledon through John D Wood & Co and had a very positive experience from beginning to end. A particular thank you goes to Peter Woods, who was excellent throughout the transaction. He was always professional, approachable and responsive, communicated clearly with us and was very helpful whenever we needed information or something needed to be followed up. Buying a property inevitably involves moments when you are waiting for different parties to do things, so having someone who communicates well and helps keep the process moving makes a real difference. I would also like to thank the wider Wimbledon team. Everyone we dealt with was friendly and helpful, right through to completion and the collection of the keys. Overall, we felt very well looked after and I would have no hesitation in recommending Peter and the John D Wood Wimbledon office.

After a painful multi-month process of trying to find a flat in London and being subject to the highly impersonal and indifferent approach taken by the majority of the agents we dealt with, John D. Wood - and specifically the wonderful Rosie McCarthy - came to the rescue. They have been brilliant in getting us into what is our dream flat and we could not be happier. We feel really looked after by the company and by Rosie, and highly recommend her and John D. Wood if you are trying to find a property in the areas they cover. Rosie was so thorough, professional and warm in her approach - it felt like having someone on your side. We could not recommend her and John D. Wood enough. Thank you to John D. Wood and the wonderful Rosie McCarthy!
